Levelling Up: What Does it Mean for Heritage? - Save the Date

We are pleased to announce the date for our upcoming Heritage Debate, which will be focussed on the topic of Levelling Up: What Does it Mean for Heritage?

The Heritage Alliance Heritage Debate 2021 will be taking place digitally on 30 November (10am - 12pm) via Zoom.

All are welcome to attend this free, virtual event for the sector. We will be sharing further details and a booking link in the next issue of Heritage Update, so please save the date until then.

Welcoming Pam Alexander OBE & Polly Martin to the Alliance

Readers of Heritage Update will have received a special issue last week, with an announcement that Pam Alexander OBE will be joining the Alliance as our new Chair from 4 November. Pam will go forward for formal election at The Heritage Alliance AGM in February 2022.

And as of this week, Polly Martin has started in her new role as Head of Policy & Communications, joining Daniella Briscoe-Peaple (Advocacy & Communications Officer) and Saffron Ralphs (Policy & Projects Officer) in our Policy & Communications team.

Heritage Alliance Members Survey on 'Contested Heritage'

A reminder that we have sent out a survey to all Alliance members to find out how heritage organisations are engaging with the discourse around 'contested heritage' and whether the issues raised apply to their spaces, buildings, collections or narratives.

The findings from the survey will help us at the Alliance to understand how our members are engaging and affected, as well as inform our advocacy with Government and policy makers on these complicated topics.

We appreciate the time and patience of our membership with our surveys. Your responses are invaluable to our sector insight and inform our advocacy work on your behalf. The deadline for responses is 2 November.

Policy Updates

This fortnight:

This week, we've been finalising a public version of our fiscal and funding manifesto for 2021 ahead of the Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) and Autumn Budget, which will be available to read via our website next week. In the meantime, read a summary of our five fiscal and funding priorities.

And following on from the further DCMS portfolio announcements, we have written to Nigel Huddleston to welcome him as the Minister for Sport, Tourism, Heritage and Civil Society. We have also written to DLUHC's new Secretary of State, Michael Gove, and Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay, who has been appointed as Minister for Arts. This week we will be writing to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Simon Clarke, and Julia Lopez, the new Minister for Media, Data and Digital Infrastructure. 

Heritage Responds – Taking Positive Action On Climate Change

As the world turns its eyes to COP26 in Glasgow, the brand-new report ‘Heritage Responds’ highlights the positive contribution heritage organisations and their partners are making to the climate change debate and the actions needed to adapt to a changing world.

The work is the culmination of six months of collaboration by the members of the Historic Environment Forum COP26 Task Group and showcases how the sector is responding to climate change thanks to a great set of case studies.

Alongside the new report, the Historic Environment Forum in collaboration with Historic England has also launched a new Heritage Responds Climate Change Story Map, a geographical mapping of the key case studies demonstrating how the heritage sector is acting to address climate change – and how heritage is part of the solution to climate change.

#HeritageChat

Ahead of the launch of our report Heritage Responds, October’s #HeritageChat discussed Heritage & COP26. COP26 is a great opportunity for UK organisations to think about their work, and how heritage is linked to climate change. Participants shared how they are tackling climate change; where there are gaps in research and policy; how we can make sure all the heritage sectors are considered in decision-making; and how we can involve local communities.

You can read the summary of the chat here.

The next #HeritageChat will be on 16th November (1-2pm) on ‘Heritage & Levelling Up’ – hold the slot in your diary and follow @HeritageChat to take part!

Government News

Our summary of the latest announcements and guidance for the heritage sector.

Headlines

• DCMS Portfolios Confirmed

• Culture Secretary Stresses the Importance of Inclusivity

• Government Publishes Net Zero Strategy

• Visa-Free Short-Term Touring in Europe

Reshuffle - Further DCMS Appointments

Ministerial portfolios within DCMS have now been finalised. Nigel Huddleston will be taking on the heritage brief once again as Minister for Sport, Tourism, Heritage and Civil Society, and as mentioned in the last update, Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay has been appointed as Minister for Arts, with responsibility for Arts and Museums. Julia Lopez has been made Minister for Media, Data and Digital Infrastructure (which includes responsibility for the Creative Industries) and Chris Philp is the Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy.

Culture Secretary's Speech at UKactive Conference

In her recent speech at the UKActive Conference, the Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries made it clear that inclusivity and accessibility are key priorities for DCMS. She stated, there is “going to be a thread running through everything I do. And that’s improving access. I want every person, no matter where they’re from or what stage of life they’re at, to have the chance to participate and rise to the top of all of the industries DCMS covers – to the top of the arts, of tech, and of course, sport.” You can read the full speech here.

1,000 Schools Connected to Full Fibre Broadband

As part of the Government’s mission to 'level up' internet access across the UK, children in 1,084 schools with slower internet speeds are now enjoying extra fast gigabit broadband.

DCMS’ recently-published report, Connecting gigabit communities and rural schools: the gigabit journey explores how people accessing public services are impacted by the availability of high-speed internet. The main benefits for rural schools seen in this research include time-saving across the whole school, confidence and creativity in the classroom, improved pupil experience and opportunity, and greater staff satisfaction.

COVID-19

Update to Travel Restrictions

The Department for Transport has produced a document summarising all of the recent changes to international travel. As of 11 October, only 7 countries remain on the red list, including Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Panama, Peru and Venezuela. And from 24 October, arrivals into England who are fully vaccinated, along with most under 18s, who have not been in a red list country in the last 10 days, will be able to take a lateral flow test on or before day 2 of their arrival, instead of a PCR test. The FCDO has also lifted its advice against all but essential travel for over 80 countries and territories.

CJRS Late Claims

The deadline for making for making claims under the Coronavirus Job Retention (Furlough) Scheme has now passed. Claims for September must have been submitted on or before 14 October and you can make amendments to your September claim up until 28 October. HMRC may accept late claims or amendments for claim periods from 1 November 2020 in certain circumstances.

August CJRS Statistics

The latest CJRS statistics show that on 31 August there were 1.3 million people on furlough, compared with 1.6 million on 31 July. In the arts, entertainment and recreation sector, 12% of employees were furloughed.

Social & Sector Impacts

The most recent ONS Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (22 September to 3 October) shows that 85% of adults felt that wearing a face covering was either very important or important as a measure to slow the spread of Covid. Among working adults, 67% reported travelling to work within the past 7 days, a 2% increase from the previous period. Personal wellbeing measures remained stable.

The ONS has also published figures on the UK’s economic growth, which show a 0.4% growth in GDP between July and August. The sectors that made the most significant contribution were accommodation and food services (0.28% of positive growth to GDP) and arts, entertainment and recreation (0.13% growth). Libraries, archives, museums and other cultural activities grew by 12.9% in this period. Meanwhile, the night-time cultural economy has lost 86,000 jobs due to COVID-19, 15,000 of which have been in culture and arts events.

The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) latest analysis of tourism recovery in the UK indicates that tourism’s contribution to the UK economy during 2021 could be up by 32% compared with 2020. However, this is largely due to an increase in domestic tourism. The estimated inbound visitor spend is predicted to decrease by almost 50%, making the UK one of the worst performing countries in the world.

Guidance

The latest guidance includes:​

• Advice for UK Visa Applicants and Temporary UK Residents (Updated 11 October)
• Paying Back CJRS Grants (Updated 11 October) - new guidance added on Offsetting Overpaid CJRS Funds 
• Guidance for People Arriving from Red and Green List Countries (Updated 11 October)
• Wales Introduces Covid Pass for people attending large events and venues (Published 11 October)
• Guidance for Local Decision Makers (Updated 7 October)
• Kickstart Scheme Guidance (Updated 5 October) – the deadline for applicants is now 17 December and job start dates have been extended to 31 March 2022

We continue to collate relevant guidance for the sector in our COVID-19 Hub. 

DCMS & Culture

Sadiq Khan Outlines Vision for London's Royal Docks

The Mayor of London has outlined his vision for the Royal Docks in east London to become a new cultural quarter, where “creative work is made, new ideas formed and cultural participation is open to all”. Khan says it has the potential to deliver 35,000 jobs and more than £5 billion of local investment over the next 20 years.

DCMS Statistical Release

DCMS has released data on businesses in DCMS sectors in 2019, including employment statistics and turnover. The figures show that 298,000 out of the 645,000 businesses in DCMS sectors were in the Creative Industries and 74,000 were in the Cultural Sector. DCMS-sector businesses were more likely to be in a lower turnover band than UK business in general, and 88.3% of businesses in DCMS sectors fell into the micro (0-9) employee band.

Government Covid-19 Charity Support Fund

Nigel Huddleston has hailed small charities as “the backbone of our communities” as an impact report published by DCMS and The National Lottery Community Fund shows that 6.5 million people have been helped by the Government’s £200 million Coronavirus Community Support Fund. The data suggests the Fund was fundamental in supporting charities and social enterprises to carry out critical work during the pandemic.

West Midlands Digital Sector Grows

According to a new government report, the West Midlands has been recognised as a top performer for digital growth. The area is predicted to create 52,000 tech roles by 2025, an increase of 55% since 2019.

Tourism & Hospitality

VAT Survey Results

The results from last month’s VAT Survey undertaken by the Tourism Alliance, UKHospitality, BBPA and Alva, illustrate that the current temporary reduced rate of VAT of 12.5% is a lifeline to many tourism and hospitality businesses, with funding being spent on keeping businesses afloat, complying with Covid requirements and paying staff and suppliers. The findings show that reverting the VAT level to 20% could have serious consequences for businesses, with 4 in 10 saying it would likely lead to cutbacks and job losses.

In addition to the survey, the Tourism Alliance and its partners are looking at undertaking modelling on the impact of the permanent reduction of VAT, and will be highlighting the findings at the 2021 Tourism Conference on 15 November.

Planning

Basil Watson to Design National Windrush Monument

Internationally acclaimed artist Basil Watson has been selected to design the National Windrush Monument, which will stand at London Waterloo station. The monument, which is backed by £1 million of government funding, is intended to illustrate the inseparable bond of the Windrush pioneers, showing three figures in their “Sunday best” climbing a mountain. The monument is expected to be unveiled on Windrush Day 2022.

Changes to the National Planning Policy Framework

A reminder that the recent updates made to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities' guidance on plan making (to reflect changes to Paragraph 22 of the National Planning Policy Framework) can be viewed here.

Environment

Government Publishes Net Zero Strategy

On Tuesday, the Government revealed its Net Zero Strategy, setting out how the UK will deliver on its commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050. The commitments made are intended to unlock approximately £90 billion in investment by 2030, and support 440,000 well-paid jobs in green industries.

Plans to Drive Down Cost of Clean Heat

Through the Heat and Buildings Strategy, the Government has outlined its plan to incentivise people to install low-carbon heating systems cheaply and fairly as they come to replace their old boilers. It is hoped that this will help to reduce the UK’s fossil fuel usage and exposure global price spikes.

Grants of £5,000 will be available to homeowners from April next year to enable them to install systems such as heat pumps that do not emit carbon when used.

The National Trust [Alliance member]  has reacted to this announcement in a Twitter thread.

Plans to Unlock Power of Gene Editing Technologies

The Environment Secretary has announced new plans that will pave the way to enable the use of gene editing technologies, which could help better protect the environment. Gene editing is a tool that makes plant breeding more efficient, and research could lead to crops that are resistant to viruses which currently cause yield losses and costs to farmers unless pesticides are used.

Education

Thousands of Adults to Benefit from New Technical Skills

As part of the Government’s goal to plug skill gaps and improve access to high-quality training alternatives, it has been announced that thousands of working adults will be able to sign up for free STEM courses which will help them to quickly upskill or retrain. Courses, including in engineering, digital and construction, will be made available later this month at ten Institutes of Technology across England.

Brexit & Immigration

Touring Permits

20 EU countries have now confirmed that they will offer visa and work permit free routes for UK musicians and performers, with durations and requirements varying between different Member States.

New Timetable for Introducing Border Controls

The Government has set out a new timetable for introducing full import controls for goods being imported from the EU to the UK. The new controls will be phased in during 2022. A new Export Support Service has been established to help businesses contact the export support team with queries.
